I can say That In all my years of detecting -22. I have never had a unit pick up a christmas tree lightbulb in the sand before until I did it with the BH300. a small clear mini light strand bulb. I was impressed. ,so was my dealer in gettysburg pa.Don Hinks.
great depth, target seperation and fast to ground balance . Can be run like a pulse unit and still i.d targets . One sweet,sweet, unit. Only thing I'd ever like to see this unit have is the ability to run different coils without having to send it back and have the coil hardwired.

What coils are available for the BH anyway? I prefer a smaller coil; about an 8" coil for hunting lakes as it's easier to pin point and more forgiving to scoop that smaller foot print for a green horn like myself. Anyone here of different coil options or someone to wire in an aftermarket coil for this unit?
Well, if you're feeling adventurous, I'd say you could wire in any coil rated for the DFX. They are all going to be waterproof and work with dual frequencies.
The normal method is to either buy a unit with the 950 coil on it and keep it that way, or send it in to upgrade to the 300mm coil. I think the cost is $145.00 USD for the upgrade.
Or, of course, simply buy a BHID 300 in the first place.
I'm thinking of getting either a BHID 300 or Surf PI to use in the water and letting my wife operate the BHID 950 in the sand.

Yes, the BHID works on the same frequencies as the DFX and except for the water proof connection at the box can use any of the coils designed for the DFX, such as the D2, or the Eclipse coils.
It really wouldn't be difficult to swap in another coil. The only issue is IF the bulkhead connector leaked, there'd be no warranty. But since the detector is only rated to 25 feet anyway, you'd never reach 2 atmospheres of pressure, so leakage would not be as likely to occur as, say, in a Surf PI rated for 100 feet.
